Fishwick Kirk. Last Chance Saloon



Incredibly summer, leaving out Spring is here. And we have one bit of unfinished business before the season gets too advanced and we leave the Old Manse for the Small House in Duns. Well actually we have quite a lot of unfinished business before extricating ourselves from here. But finding Fishwick Kirk is high on the list. Once the grass is four foot tall, the two metre nettles at the 1.7 metre stage, the fields full of coos and Farmer C's Bull* on the prowl, then it is too late. Stanley may have found Dr Livingstone in an equally unpromising environment but I believe Fishwick Kirk would have eluded him.

*If it was the Bull's cousin known, apparently, as 'Well Hung and Tender' from across the Tweed we might risk it. The trouble is that although you can spot the well hung bits from a safe distance, the tenderness is only apparent, or not, when it is too late.
